A supramolecular polymer is a polymer whose monomer repeat units are held together by noncovalent bonds. Non-covalent forces that hold supramolecular polymers together include coordination, π-π interactions, and hydrogen bonding. One system that has been demonstrated uses quadruple hydrogen bonds to form supramolecular polymers.
